10 Things In Tech You Need To Know This Morning

YouTube will launch a subscription music
service. Billboard reports: "YouTube is preparing
a premium on-demand music service -- akin to a Spotify, but
with video -- to launch later this year, according to several
sources familiar with the plans. The service, designed with
mobile listening in mind, will have a free component and a
premium tier that offers unlimited access to a full catalog of
tracks similar to what's already available via YouTube's parent
company, Google Inc., via its All Access subscription music
service. Premium features would include the ability to cache
music for offline listening and removing ads."

Employers are now using GPS to track workers' every
move. At Plants Inc., the boss "has the capability
of viewing any photo, text message, or email sent over company
phones, along with call logs and website visits, she said she
uses only the geolocation tracking feature—and turns to it only
when customers raise questions."

Embarrassing: "German Chancellor Angela
Merkel phoned United States President Barack Obama on Wednesday
to discuss suspicions that she may have been targeted by US
intelligence agencies for years, SPIEGEL has learned."
